Unfortunately we were missing a few students today, but it provided a good opportunity for some good one-on-one instruction. Particularly with one student, I think it was a good week for her where she was able to keep focused on the piano the whole time without having to split it between the slightly different learning style of another student, who was absent. With both piano groups, we continued focusing not only on rudiments and new finger positions, but also exploring their musical fascinations with our weekly “musical moments” check-in. It’s so nice to learn what the kids like, and to see them thinking more about music in their everyday lives!
